Got kinda sick of having to whip out a wrench to make shock compression adjustments, so I made this tool-less HSC adjuster. Now to figure out how to make a tool-less LSC adjuster. I have some ideas, but this will work for now.
Wait till you see the vlog. lol. All shot from her new (against my wishes - im an android guy) iPhone, so shes still getting used to the camera settings. I've been wanting to buy a DSLR or more proper professional camera for these types of events.
Here's a raw clip (from the stands) of the Main Event. I'll be posting the full vlog later tonight.
I started 4 gates to the "left" (from this view) of the doghouse. Only rider in blue gear and yellow helmet.
You should try loading the SM inverter firmware onto your bike.
Map 4 on the SM has almost double the regen as EX/EXR, and more than double the MX/MXR.
MX/MXR map 2-4 has about 20% less regen than EX/EXR. Map 1 is the same as EX/EXR.
Yeah track was pretty tough. I actually went to starwest (now State Fair MX) on Wednesday with @Mark911 and did that SX Futures practice on the pro SX track. That track is nuts but really good training. That definitely helped me leading into this weekend. I'd love to ride there again.
Welp that's a wrap!
Unfortunately my GoPro died right before the main event. But my GF recorded the whole main from the stands.
Had a 16th gate pick for the main. I decided to choose a far outside gate as it seemed like everyone was getting bunched up on the inside like in the heat. I got a...
There was only 1 heat for our class so we all go to the main. My lap times were in the top 10 so as long as I get a good start I should be able to bring a top 10 home.
Had a great jump off the gate and was like 3rd going into the first corner but got sandwiched off and went down. Sucks. See if I can do better in the main.
Yup
Just gonna be posting here throughout the day today to let you all know how it's going.
First practice went well. I was 9th. Track is pretty tough. They kept the first whoop section and the triple after it. I feel good in the whoops though.
Heat 1 coming up in about an hour or so.
I've been toying with the idea of trying a KTM 450 linkage with KTM 450 valving and spring rate (whatever the rate would be for a KTM450 for my weight plus 25 lbs). If i had a KTM gas bike i probably would have already tried it. Not even sure if the linkage from a KTM will bolt up.
